They say that screenwriters present V. Michaelides as “lazy, wonderful and female”, which also has no solid historical documentation.
The “alteration” of Vasilis Michaelides’ Employment Portrait in the Rick series “Trikimia” by Rick, speak in a joint announcement by the Literature and Criticism Group and the Limassol Literary Society “Vassilis Michaelides”, and are calling on the state channel.
According to their announcement, “the scriptwriters of the TV ‘Tricky’, which is being screened by RIK 1, have included the protagonists of the series and the important poet of the Cypriot and wider modern Greek literature, Vassilis Michaelides.
“However, in terms of the life of the poet of Rome, the scriptwriters have not even respected the historical truth. On the contrary, the ‘stories’ are carved out, which illuminate reality and, consequently, misinformed the unsuspecting viewers. For example, in this series we are informed that V. Michaelides lived in a village in Cyprus and that, living in this village, he was inspired by his two multiple narrative poems, ‘July 9th’ and ‘Chiotissa’. No more untouched, “they add.
They also say that scriptwriters present V. Michaelides as “lazy, dear and female”, which also does not have a solid historical documentation, as the poet is appreciated not only by the world of Limassol but also by the city’s spiritual circles.
“Having regard to the above findings, we call on the state channel to proceed with corrective moves so as to restore historical truth and stop the sparking of V. Michaelides’ sacred memory,” concludes the Limassol and Limassol and Limassol Literary Company.
